1
cup
mayonnaise
1
Tablespoon
sweet pickle relish
2
teaspoons
finely chopped fresh dill
2
teaspoons
dried minced onion
1
teaspoon
lemon juice
fresh squeezed
¼
teaspoon
kosher salt
¼
teaspoon
black pepper
Instructions
Whisk together the mayonnaise, relish, dill, minced onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl.
Cover and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour for the flavors to mingle and serve. Don't skip this step, it really does help the flavor.
Notes
Please refer to my FAQ’s and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
If you like it a little thinner, add a splash of the juice from the pickle relish or a bit more lemon juice or even a bit of milk.
Add more herbs if desired such as parsley, tarragon, or chives.
If you like it a touch more on the sweet side, add 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
Perfect as a dipping sauce or on sandwiches in place of plain mayonnaise.
Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week, I do not suggest freezing.
